Ahana Deol to debut with Esha
Friday,
May
11,
2007
With
yesteryear's
Dream
Girl
Hema
Malini
being
mother
and
"Garam" Dharam
aka
Dharmandra
her
father,
Ahana
Deol
came
to
Bollywood
on
a
silver
platter
as
it
were.
Elder
sister
and
ear-marked
actress
Esha
Deol,
with
whom
she
has
done
dance
performances
along
with
mother
Hema,
should
have
been
a
strong
influence
to
take
to
acting
as
well
but
Ahana
seems
to
be
still
camera
shy.
After
all,
Kareena
took
only
a
few
months
to
follow
in
the
dancing
footsteps
of
sister
Karisma
Kapoor.
That
however
does
not
rule
her
out
behind
the
camera
and
so
it
is.
Ahana Deol is all set to don the director's cap and will have Hema, Dharmendra and Esha as acting putty to be knuckled into shape in front of the camera. Ahana will, theoretically speaking at least, also have her three step-brothers, Sunny, Bobby and Abhay, also at her service if she chooses to cast them!
Ahana is bracing up to direct a film about a man who faces hardships and emerges triumphant. The male lead has not yet been finalised (though actor Kunal Kapoor seems to be a strong candidate), but the female lead has already seen sister Esha signed in. Ahana has said that she never aspired to become an actress. "It's not my scene. I don't like the thought of wearing make-up. As it is I don't like to doll-up," she has been quoted as having said and that seems quite categorical. That should also sound like music to Dharmendra's ears as he has never been too happy with Esha donning make-up.
Hema too has been very unhappy about how Esha's talent has not been exploited at all yet, and is therefore producing the film (she had produced and directed Dil Ashana Hai before) and having Esha's younger sibling taking up the reins to show the world what Esha is all about really. Though, didn't they say the story is about a male protagonist's struggle and triumph? So finally all his family has gone into acting!!!
